Occupy Evanston’s Monthly Movie Series Presents: Thursday, March 30th at 6:30 PM Evanston Civic Center Room 2404 Documentary Film:The Power of Community-How Cuba Survived Peak Oil When Cuba lost access to Soviet Oil in the early 1990’s, the country faced an immediate crisis—feeding the population—and an ongoing challenge: how to create a new low-energy society. Cuba transitioned from large, fossil-fuel intensive farming to small, less energy-intensive organic farms and urban gardens, and from a highly industrial society to a more sustainable one. As the world now faces global climate change from fossil fuel use, Cuba provides a valuable example of how to address the challenge of reducing our energy use. Film will be shown at the Evanston Civic Center 2100 Ridge Ave. Plenty of Parking in the Civic Center Parking Lot Sponsored by Evanston Documentary Film Group, Occupy Evanston, Democracy in Action Chicago, Coalition to Overturn Citizen United, and End Money in Politics All Are Welcome Come and Join Us
